"East Sea City, we've arrived."
That afternoon, the family of four appeared at the Soul Guidance Train station in East Sea City. Tang Ziran had a smile on his face as he spoke softly.
At the moment, the family had just taken the Soul Guidance Train from Aolai City, with their final destination being East Sea City.
East Sea City, the second most comprehensive coastal city in terms of overall strength, only surpassed by the talent-filled Sky Sea City. Moreover, it was a scenic and pleasant place, making it the most suitable place to live.
"Let's take my treasures."
"To our new home!"
Tang Ziran smiled as he hailed a taxi and spoke slowly.
"Alright!"
Not long after, Tang Luochuan and the others arrived at a residence that was at least twice as large as their previous one, and it wasn't far from the location of the intermediate academy.
"Dad."
"So you guys are really going to work in East Sea City from now on!"
Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled as he spoke.
In fact, last night, he had a nightmare where he dreamed that his parents had left him, and even his brother had disappeared, leaving him all alone in East Sea City...
He didn't dare to think about it.
What kind of person would he become if that really happened?
Perhaps there wouldn't be any issues at first, but as time went on, there would definitely be significant problems, both psychologically and in other aspects.
"Yes, although the intermediate academy will be a boarding school, coming to East Sea City will make it much more convenient for you to come home."
"Of course, your mom and dad's jobs have also been transferred to East Sea City, and in terms of salary..."
"You can consider it a promotion and a raise."
Tang Ziran said with a smile.
He had an old friend in this city who was also a Mecha Designer, and he had found him a very good job for this stage...
Why just this stage?
Well, it was because, with his previous professional level, he wasn't even someone the other party could afford to hire.
"Yay!"
Tang Wulin said with anticipation on his face. East Sea City, a new city, he hoped that good things would happen here!
"We'll tidy up in a bit. Dad's friend has invited us to dinner, so we'll all go out together later."
Tang Ziran patted his head and said with a smile.
"Eh!"
"Are we going to have a big feast?"
Tang Wulin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh my."
"Little foodie, always thinking about eating."
Seeing her younger son like this, Lang Yue couldn't help but lightly tap his head and chuckle softly.
"Hehe."
Tang Wulin scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn't know why, but ever since he dreamed of that giant dragon, he had become much more voracious.
And every time he finished eating, he felt like he had gained more strength, all the way until he completed the Thousand Refined process. It was just super magical.
"Hahahaha."
"We're indeed going to have a big feast."
Tang Ziran didn't pay too much attention to it and gently patted the little one's head, smiling as he spoke.
Not long after.
At the center of East Sea City, the Xie family.
"Brother Tianhai, sorry to keep you waiting."
After arriving at a villa, Tang Luochuan finally met the friend his father had mentioned.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old, with a dignified expression on his face. His demeanor and speech exuded wealth, indicating that his status was likely not ordinary.
Beside him stood a young boy, seemingly around the same age as them, with a cultivation level of around level 18. His talent was considered quite good.
"Wait."
"Level 18."
At the thought of this, Tang Luochuan's expression couldn't help but turn a bit strange. Level 18, of all levels!
Earlier, when he heard his father mention that the other party's surname was Xie, Tang Luochuan had already felt something was off. Now, this only further fueled his suspicions. Could his father's friend possibly be...
"Brother Tang is here, please come in and take a seat. Xie Xie, this is your father's good friend, you can call him Uncle Tang."
Seeing Tang Ziran and the others arrive, the man's face immediately lit up with a smile as he welcomed them in, laughing heartily.
His name was Xie Tianhai, the head of the Xie family in Donghai.
His ancestors had also produced Super Douluo-level powerhouses, making the Xie family a renowned Mecha family in Donghai City. As for his relationship with Tang Ziran, it traced back to over a decade ago.
Back then, he was still young. While traveling through the Star Luo Continent, he met Tang Ziran, who was also a Mecha Designer, and they formed a friendship.
He had thought they would never have the chance to meet again, but three years ago, when he coincidentally visited the Talent Management Center, he ran into this old acquaintance.
"..."
Upon hearing the name of the man's son, Tang Luochuan's expression revealed a sense of realization, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Just as he thought, this boy really was Xie Xie!
Not the "thank you" Xie, but the "encounter" Xie!
"I never expected my father's friend..."
"To be Xie Xie's father, the head of the Xie family."
Tang Luochuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly, feeling that the world was indeed too small—they actually knew each other!
If he had known this earlier.
Why bother going all the way to the distant Star Luo Continent in the original story?
The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
"Hello, Uncle Tang."
Xie Xie looked at the group before him, seemingly reluctant to be in such a crowded situation, and merely uttered a brief greeting.
"Hello there, little friend. We got stuck in traffic on the way, so we kept you waiting a bit longer."
Tang Ziran looked at the young boy with a gentle smile, then turned his gaze toward the man and spoke slowly.
"Ah, it's no trouble at all. It's worth waiting any amount of time to welcome Brother Tang."
Xie Tianhai shook his head with a smile, not minding at all.
"These two must be Luo Chuan and Wu Lin, right? They really are such well-behaved children."
"Xie Xie, these two older brothers are both exceptionally talented geniuses. They'll also be attending Donghai Academy in the future, so make sure to build a good relationship with them."
Xie Tianhai's gaze shifted toward Tang Luochuan and Tang Wulin, his face brimming with unconcealed delight as he spoke slowly.
He had heard Tang Ziran speak often about his two sons. These two youngsters were anything but ordinary!
He didn't know much about Wu Lin, but Luo Chuan's talent was Innate Full Soul Power, so he was undoubtedly exceptional...
"Geniuses?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie seemed quite interested, but he soon shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at the two.
He couldn't sense much cultivation from the one called Tang Luochuan, though he did seem quite capable. But as for the younger brother, Wu Lin, he could clearly feel it.
He was just a mere level 12 Soul Master—a genius?
He had surpassed level 12 by the age of six!
"Geniuses?"
"I don't think it's anything special."
Xie Xie snorted lightly.
What a genius? Just a small waste of talent.
"So, Brother Tang, you'll be developing here in Donghai City for a while?"
Ignoring his son's situation, Xie Tianhai looked at Tang Ziran in front of him and spoke with anticipation.
"Exactly."
"After all, both kids are studying here now. In terms of work, I'll have to rely on you, Tianhai."
Tang Ziran smiled as he spoke slowly.
"No problem, no problem."
"With your abilities, even if you went to Tiandou City or anywhere else, you'd be treated as an honored guest. Staying here in Donghai City is really a bit of a grievance for you and your wife."
Xie Tianhai shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
He vaguely remembered that when he first met the couple, they were already Level 7 Mecha manufacturers and designers. Back then, they were only in their twenties.
Even now, being Level 8 Mecha Designers before turning forty… their future is still boundless.
"I don't have such grand ambitions anymore."
"I just hope that in Donghai City, the two little ones can cultivate happily."
Tang Ziran shook his head. All he wished for was for his family to be safe and happy.
And for both of his sons to succeed, becoming the powerful Soul Masters they aspire to be.
"But this year's Donghai Academy is indeed impressive. Among the new teachers, there's one who…"
At this moment, Tang Ziran's eyes suddenly lit up as he asked.
He remembered the other party mentioning that among the teachers at this year's Donghai Soul Master Academy, there was one who came from that place…
"The Inner Court."
Hearing these two words from the other party, Tang Ziran's expression could no longer remain calm.
The Shrek Inner Court—those who can enter there are destined to become at least Titled Douluos in the future. And a Titled Douluo from Shrek would at least be a Three-Word Battle Armor Master. This person…
Their potential and talent are truly unfathomable!
